WWII GERMAN ARMY DRESS BAYONET ROBERT KLAAS WithLEATHER FROG CLEAN ESTATE ITEM

  
WWII GERMAN ARMY DRESS BAYONET. LONG VERSION ROBERT KLAAS WITH LEATHER FROG. This WWII German Army Soldier's Dress Bayonet belonged to a friend of mine who recently passed away.

He set aside vintage military items over the years. This blade was found in a box of "spares" he used for display as he needed them. The bayonet's 9.75 inch blade remains very bright and retains most all of it's original plated finish (see photos).

The blade was never sharpened and doesn't have a sharp edge now (see photos). The ricasso has the famous Robert Klaas - Kissing Cranes makers mark and has a leather buffer below the crossguard (see photos). The crossguard, pommel and backstrap have most all the plated finish remaining as well but there are some small losses (see photos). Black plastic grips are clean/tight have no cracks and secured with rivets (see photos). The pommel's back edge is slotted and the pommel release button works properly (see photos). The bayonet scabbard is clean/solid overall with the usual crazing & small paint losses but no dings or dents (see photos). The period brown leather frog is solid/intact with tight stitching but has some crazing & small losses to the reverse (see photos). Frog reverse is not maker marked or dated (see photos). This WWII German Army Soldier's Dress bayonet is a basic plus entry level piece. It would be excellent German Army dress bayonet rig for a starting collector. Would clean up some if desired.
